Read other letters about this article
I predict a slew of letters about how it's time that we put this whole silly Santa thing to bed, that children don't need to be filled up with fantasies about a man in a red suit crawling down their chimney on "winter solstice holiday eve", and about how malls are creepy, artificial dens of capitalist excess. Some readers will share their stories about how easy it was for them to discuss Santa with their kids and give advice on how to let them down easy.
Of course, now everyone will withhold the letters they were working on, just to show me wrong. But you were writing one yourself, weren't you?!?!?!?
